mark murray joins us now to tell us how this could play out. let's start with the democrats. they seem to be more unified over this showdown. at what point, though, do those vulnerable red state democratic senators who are up for re-election next year, at what point do they start getting nervous. >> that is the hope of republicans that snou the democratic party that has been so unified from this, from a month ago to yesterday, that they somehow start to fray. if this goes on for another week or two. craig, there's been vote after vote. those red state democrats up for re-election next year, people like mary landrieu and mark pryor are holding firm. that's a big difference from where we have seen signs of disunity. >> what role could republican governors play in all of this? >> the one thing they can be able to do, look what's going on in washington. anti-washington, anti-congress message is also very popular. after all, congress's approval rating is 10% according to most polls. any governor, be it a republican or democrat can say look at the mess happening in washington, d.c.

. >>> joining us now, senior plid editor mark murray. -- okay, listen, senator casey expressing optimism, we heard optimism from the white house yesterday, even with senator mitch mcconnell praising this deal from all sides. the wall street journal's op-ed refers to something that we see over and over, this is the quality of thinking or lack thereof that affected many gop conservatives from the beginning of the showdown. they pick a goal they could not achieve and then they pick a means that they could not sustain politically by pursuing it. but reading that, mark, there's a question, is there a real motivation for the most conservative in the republican party to not just pick this battle a little later? >> i'm sure they are going to want to have the battle later to use it in fund raising. this remains a very big goal for republicans. tamron, one think worth noting about the time line in the deal, you end up having the government reopens come january 15th. the next debt ceiling date is extended to february 7th. what happens before then? well, the entire president's health care law gets u

joining me now, mark murray, you touch on this today in first read which is interesting as you have more republicans criticizing the rollout of obama care. they were having the fake filibuster and other issues in holding up the government. >> it's almost as if the republicans, if the shutdown did not happen and they acted very gleefully about these problems with the obama care websites. this is a legitimate story and this has potential to really put some major wrenches into the president's health care law, that it's viable. but we are seeing that they are trying to move heaven and earth to fix the problem. the question is can they fix it and in enough time. yesterday at the same time where there was so much attention on the health care website, we end up seeing john mccain holding a town hall in arizona in which he sparred with the ted cruz supporter, really great footage of that and shows there is this still divide in the republican party between the tea party and the nontea party and that doesn't seem to be a problem that's being fixed, at least right now. >> too your point in first re
